When my daughter was 4 she had a good enough attention span to learn a wide range of technique and footwork.....I have visited schools though that offer more "martial arts babysitting" than good training.
In the 80's and 90's we ran a residential martial arts summer camp for kids 8-18 .we were able to make some acceptions to the camp age requirement but the program was generally to intenese for the lil'ones

4-6 year olds definately can handle good blocking reaction drills, combination pad work, stepping-sliding kicks, jumping kicks, and can learn gross motor movement matwork such as bridging and basic takedowns.
Trick is in making it fun and disguising the repetitiveness of training.

I just leave out the complex Karate forms for this age and keep the classes shorter than the older kids classes.
